Reminiscent of the work of famous Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarsatomi, Amor Hakkar directs and stars in his latest feature. This is a quiet film about two homosexual Iranian men who illegally cross the border of France to escape the death sentence that inevitably would fall upon them for their love of one another. Skipping preachy dialogue, Hakkar opts instead for lingering shots of expressions that manage to make the film feel visually and emotionally complete.

After escaping Iran, where their relationship means a death sentence, Hassan and Mohsen make it all the way to France. While stopped over in a small town to await their train to Paris, Mohsen befriends the lonely, but warm, Yolande, who offers him employment, kindness, and the possibility of a peaceful life.
